I haven't sat down and done the actual figures yet, but I have done enough to know that if I give a speed figure similar to Beyer's, 102, the pace figure to the 6f mark will be 119 or so. That's pretty quick. It's also not to hard to believe if you watch the cavalry charge into the first turn again. The "extended" runup has done nothing to alleviate the built in bias against outside posts for 1 1/8 mile races at GP. 3 or 4 horses were done before they had travelled a furlong in my opinion.
